Why hire a reporter who shoots
A camera operator who is also a journalist knows what the story needs before you ask. I find the contributors, ask the questions in their own language, get the pictures that carry the script and deliver an edit or clean rushes on deadline.
For a correspondent flying in, I can be your camera, fixer and translator in one. For a desk in London, Doha or Berlin that can't send anyone, I can do the whole job and file from Stockholm.
Recent work includes features for Al Jazeera English on Swedish football's refusal of VAR and the country's beach volleyball programme, and a Bloomberg Originals film on Åland as a NATO–Russia flashpoint.
Questions
Can you cover a story in Stockholm at short notice?
Yes. I live and work in Stockholm with my own camera, sound, edit and live kit, so I can usually be on location the same day. Send the outline, location and deadline and I will tell you straight away what is possible.
Do you work alone or with a crew?
Both. Most news work I do alone as a self-shooting reporter, which is quick and discreet. When a story needs more hands, I bring in a trusted local camera operator, sound recordist or producer.
What do you deliver, and how fast?
Raw rushes, a cut package or both, delivered to your specification, including MXF OP1a with split audio tracks. Same-day turnaround is normal for news.
What kit do you use?
Sony FX6 and FX3, radio mics, gimbal, drone, lighting and an Aviwest transmitter. Underwater and cold-water filming is possible; I am a certified Divemaster.
